SAN JOSE, CALIF. — January 15, 2019 — 42Q, a leading provider of cloud manufacturing solutions, has been honored with a Firestarter Award from industry analyst firm 451 Research. This 451 Firestarter Award recognizes 42Q’s innovation with its cloud-based Manufacturing Execution System (MES) that offers advantages in both speed of deployment and cost relative to legacy, on-premise solutions.
451 Research’s Firestarter program recognizes exceptional innovation within the information technology industry. Introduced in late 2018, the program is exclusively analyst-led, and allows its teams of technology and market experts to nominate organizations it believes are significantly contributing to the pace and extent of innovation in the market.
“451 Research built its reputation on helping clients understand innovation in the technology industry, and the Firestarters program highlights companies we believe are raising the bar,” said Ian Hughes, senior analyst, Internet of Things at 451 Research. “We awarded 42Q with a Firestarter Award because its cloud-based MES platform is an important evolution of the traditional MES, and indicates that IIoT is moving up the stack to create more value for manufacturers.”
“42Q is honored to be one of the first recipients of the Firestarter Award from 451 Research,” said Srivats Ramaswami, CTO at 42Q. “As factories continue to embrace digital transformation, recognition from 451 Research further showcases our dedication to deliver an intuitive solution for manufacturers within a cloud environment – benefits that were previously unrealized with on-premise MES systems.”
42Q delivers a comprehensive and proven cloud-based manufacturing execution system (MES) that operates between an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system and the manufacturing equipment in a factory, enabling simpler and more cost-effective implementation of a smart factory and Industry 4.0 initiatives. Once implemented, companies can simply log in, configure and use MES for real-time visibility into factory floor data, end-user analytics and reporting. In addition, 42Q can be accessed remotely from anywhere in the world for an instant view into the status of global manufacturing operations.
